Present head of Gestapo with papers (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gift

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'present' is the definition.
(I know that present can be written as gift)

'head of gestapo with papers' is the wordplay.
'head of' indicates taking the first letters.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'papers' becomes 'ift' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The initial letter of 'gestapo' is 'g'.
'g'+'ift'='GIFT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gift that I've seen before include "A present or a natural ability" , "[BOUNTY] ?" , "Offering" , "flair" , "Endowment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
